***UPDATE***
Dear ASSI Community,
I have been contacted by the organisers of the Luminous Lantern Parade to inform me that we can only have 30 people march in the parade to make it fair for all the various cultural groups attending as there will be 2000 marching in the parade and over 13,000 spectators.
Therefore, I have created a registration so that the first 30 people to complete the booking will be able to march with their lanterns in the parade while I invite everyone else who wishes to attend from our community to support us by gathering to watch and cheer us on from the sidelines as we march past this Friday. Thank you for your understanding.
Kind regards,
Louise Pfeffer
